Aseem Trivedi is sad that he believed in the show Bigg Boss...for whatever important he said…got edited and never reached the masses

Cartoonist Aseem Trivedi who was charged with sedition is a very pensive man after his elimination from Colors’ reality show Bigg Boss season 6 last night (2 November 2012). “The real purpose for what I went into the Lonavala house was not fulfilled. Navjot Singh Sidhu, I and Sampat ji (Sampat Pal) had big debates on the state of affairs in our nation, the Lok Pal debate and how the anti-corruption movement can be taken forward, yet all that was edited out, I don’t know why. I had been told to speak my mind when I was approached. They told me this would not be just entertainment. I was always aware that I will not be able to make Bigg Boss into Satyamev Jayte (Star Plus) but my idea was to bring the political idea to those people who generally stay away from it. I actually feel sad for believing them,” said Aseem to Tellychakkar.com. Point to the fact that Republican Party of India had opposed his entry and wanted him out and he stated, “It is very unfortunate that in a democracy I am not being allowed to exercise my basic right to freedom of expression.” When further pushed on the point and questioned whether he was shown the door under political pressure, he cryptically said, “May be they (did he mean the channel) had certain pressures.” When asked to comment on his co -contestants, this 25 year old shared, “All were good. I had a nice time inside and met some very different people. At times, I would even feel like a caged animal. I guess this distance from family and friends might be causing some of the friction which you saw lately.” Here Aseem stoutly defended hair stylist friend Sapna Bhavnani. “People can’t digest the fact that this lady speaks the truth and sticks by her principles. She even took on host Salman Khan when she felt wronged. ” He also did not share the public perception that Sidhu was trying to act “holier-than-thou”. “He was just trying to be positive, there is no sense in always following Newton’s Third Law Of Motion that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I think everybody should be like that.” He further regarded Vrajesh Hirjee as a nice guy, who sometimes gets emotional. “I don’t think we fought. It was a case of difference of opinions in which both of us stood our respective grounds. ” Aseem also refused to speculate on which Bigg Boss inmate eventually will win the booty of Rs1 crore. “It is too early to say and that will finally be determined by the public.” Did he become a victim of power politics in the house? “I don’t know but all I can say is that I was nominated by others just because I was close to someone,” ended Aseem.
